Chapter 6: Broken Engagement

  Chapter 6: Broken Engagement

The next morning,

not long after Xiao Feng had finished washing up, Butler Mo came to his villa and took him to the reception hall on the orders of the clan leader.

The interior of the reception hall was very spacious, with dozens of figures gathered inside, most of whom were powerful figures in the Xiao family, as well as outstanding disciples.

Xiao Zhan was sitting in the main seat in the center. The three figures sitting on his left were the three elders of the Xiao family. The three figures on his right should be the distinguished guests mentioned by Butler Mo.

The old man in a white robe who was in the lead had small eyes and a smiling face, and was talking and laughing with Xiao Zhan.

There is a silver crescent moon painted on this person's chest, and seven small stars are dotted around the silver moon, which means that this person's cultivation has reached the level of a seven-star great fighter, which is two stars higher than Xiao Zhan's cultivation.

Next to the old man in white robe sat a young man and woman. The man was about twenty years old, with a handsome face and a tall figure. There was a pattern of five golden stars painted on his chest, representing that he was a five-star fighter.

But what really attracted attention was the girl in white robe who was about the same age as Xiao Feng.

This girl is extremely beautiful, even more beautiful than Xiao Mei. Looking at the entire Xiao family, only Xiao Xun'er can compete with her.

On the girl's chest, which had already begun to take shape, there were three small golden stars painted on it, representing her level of cultivation as a three-star fighter.

Xiao Feng's arrival also attracted everyone's attention, and the look in the white-robed girl's eyes when she looked at him also seemed a little complicated.

"Father, the three elders."

After Xiao Feng withdrew his gaze from the girl in white robe, he bowed to Xiao Zhan and the others.

"Feng'er, you're finally here, come and sit down!"

Seeing his eldest son, who had an extraordinary appearance and a dignified bearing, coming, Xiao Zhan quickly stopped talking with the guest and waved to him with a smile.

Xiao Feng smiled and nodded, then walked to the three elders and sat down on the empty chair.

After Xiao Feng took his seat, he glanced around the hall and soon noticed Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yan sitting in the corner. He smiled and nodded at them.

"Cousin Xun'er, my brother's fiancée's looks and temperament are no worse than yours~"

Xiao Yan nodded slightly at first, responded to Xiao Feng, and then said jokingly: "Besides, my future sister-in-law is also the young master of Yunlan Sect. Do you feel a lot of pressure?"

"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"

Xiao Xun'er, who was flipping through a book, paused for a moment and glared at Xiao Yan unhappily.

Although Xiao Yan looks very similar to Xiao Feng, Xiao Xun'er doesn't have a good impression of him.

Under normal circumstances, Xiao Xun'er, who has a Douhuang strongman as her bodyguard, doesn't have to worry about anyone breaking into her boudoir.

It was just that Ling Ying happened to leave that night for something (looking for the fragments of the ancient emperor Tushe jade), and the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame in Xiao Xun'er's body was restless, causing her to feel powerless all over and she had no strength to resist at all.

If Xiao Feng hadn't stopped Xiao Yan in time, Xiao Xun'er might have taken advantage of him.

Especially when Xiao Yan later peeked at Xiao Yu's cousin taking a bath and was chased by the angry Xiao Yu for most of the day, Xiao Xun'er became even more convinced that he was a lustful man.

Xiao Xun'er usually talked to Xiao Yan only for Xiao Feng's sake, otherwise she wouldn't have given Xiao Yan a good face!

Although Xiao Xun'er didn't take Nalan Yanran seriously at all, she was Xiao Feng's legitimate fiancée after all, and her innate advantages were too strong.

At this moment, Xiao Xun'er really wanted to dig Xiao Feng's dead grandfather out of the grave and whip his corpse.

You old fool, why do you have to play the arranged marriage trick?

Just as Xiao Xun'er was gritting her teeth in anger, the old man in white robe finally told her the real purpose of his visit under the urging of Nalan Yanran's eyes.

"Ahem!"

The old man in white robe coughed twice, then bowed to Xiao Zhan and said, "Patriarch Xiao, to be honest, we came to your house today because we have something to ask for."

"…"

Xiao Zhan was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he smiled and said, "Please tell me, Mr. Ge Ye. As long as it is something that our Xiao family can do, we will definitely not postpone it."

"I think Patriarch Xiao has already guessed that this person is Miss Nalan Yanran, the young master of our Yunlan Sect."

"Girls really change a lot when they grow up! Niece Nalan, the last time Uncle Xiao saw you, you were just a three-year-old baby. I didn't expect you to be so beautiful now. I almost couldn't recognize you."

It was obvious that Xiao Zhan was very satisfied with Nalan Yanran, his future daughter-in-law. He praised her with a smile on his face, "A few years ago, I heard that you were accepted as a personal disciple by the Yun Sect's Master Yun. My niece is really talented!"

"Uncle Xiao, you are overpraising me. Yanran is just lucky."

Nalan Yanran smiled awkwardly. She really couldn't handle Xiao Zhan's enthusiasm, so she secretly pulled at the corner of Elder Ge Ye's clothes.

"Patriarch Xiao, what I am asking for today is related to Yanran, and this matter was personally ordered by the Lord Sect Master."

Elder Ge Ye paused halfway through his words and said, "The sect master has high expectations for Yanran and is training her to be the next sect master.

However, we in the Yunlan Sect have a rule that the successor of the Sect Master cannot waste too much energy on matters between men and women before officially becoming the Sect Master.

Therefore, when the Sect Master learned that Yanran had an arranged marriage with the Xiao family, he hoped...he hoped that the Xiao clan leader would agree to cancel the engagement. "

!!!

The smile on Xiao Zhan's face froze instantly, and the jade teacup in his hand turned into powder in an instant.

The entire reception hall fell silent, and then everyone stared at Ge Ye and the others with angry eyes.

Xiao Feng is different from Xiao Yan. He has been very sensible since he was a child. Not only does he have an excellent talent for cultivation, but he also respects his elders and cares for the young.

Every once in a while, Xiao Feng would hold a discussion meeting, bringing together the younger generation of the clan to discuss various problems encountered in cultivation.

During the Dao Discussion Conference, Xiao Feng would share his own cultivation experiences without reservation, and would also carefully guide other tribesmen on the cultivation problems they encountered.

In addition, Xiao Feng is very kind in his dealings with others, and the number of times he has gotten angry over the years does not exceed ten times in total.

Moreover, most of the time, he was angry because someone bullied Xiao Yan, so his reputation and status in the Xiao family were extremely high.

In the eyes of everyone in the Xiao family, Xiao Feng was a rare unicorn in the Xiao family for a hundred years, but Nalan Yanran came to cancel the engagement, which was simply a humiliation to the entire Xiao family!

Looking at Xiao Zhan's gloomy face, Nalan Yanran didn't dare to look him in the eye. She wanted to bury her head in her chest and twist the corner of her clothes with her fingers guiltily.
